Introducing the Center for Public Policy
We are truly living in an unprecedented moment. In Oregon, more than 11,000 clients have already accessed legal psilocybin services. Colorado’s program is also now live and serving clients. Across the country, 38 states and D.C. have introduced over 250 bills related to psychedelics in just the past five years. The momentum is real, and now is the time to capitalize on it.
The challenge ahead is also our greatest opportunity: ensuring psychedelic healing becomes not only legal, but affordable and sustainable for those who need it most. That’s where the Center for Psychedelic Policy (CPP) comes in.
CPP is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit think tank dedicated to translating lessons from Oregon and Colorado into practical tools for policymakers, advocates, and funders. Our work includes:
Translating insights from the National Psychedelic Landscape Assessment (NPLA) into clear takeaways and resources.
Providing educational briefings and toolkits that show decision-makers what’s working — and what isn’t.
Highlighting pilot program models that demonstrate how affordability can be built into care.
Sharing lessons from early implementation so states can avoid pitfalls and scale what works.
Our starting point is the National Psychedelic Landscape Assessment, which maps nearly all psychedelic legislation introduced nationwide over the past five years and offers a clear picture of where the field is heading.
